Chapter 167: Calamity Lightning: Heavenly Tribulation Spear!
Mo Fan appeared right in front of the Skeleton General. It was unclear how the creature was able to discover Mo Fan’s whereabouts. It immediately thrust the sharp swords forward. Its reach was over two meters.
There were at least twenty two-meter-long bone spikes. If Mo Fan did not pay attention, he would be stuck on the spikes after they pierced through his body.
Mo Fan jumped backward and escaped the range of the bone spikes.
He pointed his finger at the sky as he landed, summoned a purple-black Star Pattern followed by a lightning dragon descending on the Skeleton General.
Its skull was already missing. This time, the lightning blasted its chest into pieces. One of its ribs fell to the ground beside Mo Fan’s feet.
The Skeleton General was still swaying. It was not dead yet, even after losing its chest!
Mo Fan was too lazy to search for its undead crystal. He drew another lightning Star Pattern and immediately disintegrated the rest of the skeleton’s body!
“Thirty-five!” said Mo Fan coldly while crushing the remains of the Skeleton General by stomping on them.
“Ling~” Little Flame Belle cried, not because Mo Fan had just avenged her, but she was trying to warn Mo Fan about something in the sky.
Before Mo Fan could raise his head, a bone spear landed half a centimeter away from his feet. A third of the spear had stuck into the ground. The long spear was still trembling from its enormous momentum!
The sound of sharp weapons slicing through the air was heard as several bone spears around a meter long were launched at Mo Fan from different angles!
Mo Fan quickly dodged aside. Four bone spikes stuck into the ground where he was standing just a moment ago in a row. They were also quivering from their overwhelming momentum after they stuck in the ground.
Mo Fan scanned his surroundings and discovered white bone spikes pouring down at him like arrows.
Before, Mo Fan had barely dodged the attacks by utilizing the slight differences between the landing time of the bone spears. However, the rain of bones was pouring down simultaneously, making it impossible to find a place to hide from the onslaught of bone javelins.
Fleeing Shadow was no longer an option in this situation. Even if he turned into a shadow, the dense bone spikes would simply nail him to death inside the shadow!
Seeing that the situation was not favorable, Mo Fan immediately pulled Little Flame Belle from his back into his chest and bowed forward in a half-kneeling posture, preventing the spikes from landing on her.
“Black Snake Armor!”
Underneath the rain of bones, Mo Fan summoned his luxurious armor.
The blue-black scales almost instantly covered Mo Fan’s body, from his head to his toes. The black snake scales were not an extremely rigid material. Even though it looked like Mo Fan was wearing some metal armor, it did not hinder his movement at all.
The bone spikes landed right on Mo Fan. He kept on using his back to take the hits. After all, he was wearing the Black Snake Armor, but Little Flame Belle was not.
“Ying~”
Little Flame Belle who was under Mo Fan’s protection cried out. She could hear the piercing sound of the bones surrounding her. Even the ground was being shattered into pieces from the impact, yet she was perfectly safe. Mo Fan’s arms were tightly hugging her tiny body.
“I’m fine, these bone spikes can’t hurt me,” Mo Fan’s back continued to produce a sound similar to sharp metal clanking.
The Black Snake Armor had provided Mo Fan a truly sturdy defense. Even the Giant Corpse General was hopeless when trying to penetrate his defense. There was no way the bone spikes of the Servant-class skeletons could break his armor...
The rain of bones lasted for a long time. Waves after waves of the bone spikes poured onto the ground. Even an elite troop of Intermediate Magicians would have suffered heavy casualties from the attack.
The Black Snake Armor’s defense totally exceeded Mo Fan’s expectations. Mo Fan only felt a little soreness on his back after the bone spikes stopped hitting him. The bone spikes left lots of tiny holes on the Black Snake Armor, but they did not penetrate it.
“Time to get rid of these Bone Spike Skeletons,” Mo Fan glanced around coldly and saw a few groups of Bone Spike Skeletons.
It was obvious that there were Warrior-level creatures commanding the Bone Spike Skeletons. They were standing in some kind of square formation. When they started tossing their bone spikes, it resulted in the attack that Mo Fan had just received.
Except for the place where Mo Fan was standing, the whole area was pierced through by the bone spikes, forming a layer of broken bones.
The threat that these Bone Spike Skeletons posed was greater than a Warrior-level creature due to their overwhelming numbers. After all, they had the ability to attack from range. It simply meant that apart from the hundreds of skeletons surrounding Mo Fan, he still had to handle the other hundreds of skeletons attacking him from the distance!
The Black Snake Armor had a breaking point too. A few more volleys of the same attack and every inch of his skin would be pierced through by the bone javelins!
Mo Fan slowly lifted his head. His eyes locked onto those square formations of Bone Spike Skeletons in the distance.
The ordinary Lightning Element was already tyrannical enough.
Now...
He wanted to see what kind of destruction would erupt when Lightning Belle truly linked with him!
“Lightning Belle!” Mo Fan called out in a deep voice.
“Zi ying!!”
Lightning Belle flew over immediately. Her tiny face was full of anger too. Little Flame Belle had just been badly injured, and the calamity lightning around her body was already boiling violently. Purple-black arcs were jumping around her like furious serpents.
“Connect!”
Lightning Belle did not hesitate.
She slammed straight into Mo Fan’s chest.
In an instant, Mo Fan’s whole body trembled violently. The purple-black calamity lightning spread across every inch of his body, crawled over the Black Snake Armor, and ignited a dazzling, destructive glow. The dark scales of the armor were immediately covered in crooked lightning markings, as if a heavenly punishment had been carved onto them.
His hair stood up.
His pupils turned into two terrifying pools of purple-black lightning.
Even the air around him began to crackle and distort.
This was not ordinary lightning.
This was Calamity Lightning!
It carried not only penetrative power and paralysis, but also a violent explosive force that could erupt from inside the target. Once struck, the lightning would burrow through bones, split joints, shatter undead crystals, and then explode outward in chain destruction!
Mo Fan raised his hand slowly.
Purple-black arcs gathered madly above his palm.
The nearby skeletons were already beginning to tremble. Even those without intelligence instinctively felt that a devastating power was about to descend.
Mo Fan’s voice turned cold.
“Let me show you... the true ultimate of the Lightning Element!”
A massive purple-black Star Constellation rapidly connected above him.
The sky above the Space of Death dimmed.
The countless currents of lightning gathering overhead were no longer just bolts. They were condensing into a giant lightning spear surrounded by countless dragon-like arcs. The violent energy made the whole area hum, as if space itself was about to split apart.
“Calamity Lightning: Heavenly Tribulation Spear!”
Mo Fan thrust his hand forward.
The giant spear of purple-black lightning descended from the sky with a deafening scream!
It was not merely fast.
It was unavoidable.
The moment it landed in the middle of the Bone Spike Skeleton formations, the battlefield turned white-purple.
Then came the explosion.
The Heavenly Tribulation Spear pierced straight through the center of the skeleton square formation, instantly blasting apart dozens of Bone Spike Skeletons and the Warrior-level undead commanding them. But that was only the beginning. After piercing into the earth, the calamity lightning stored inside it exploded wildly in every direction, transforming into hundreds of violent lightning branches that tore across the land like divine punishment.
The branches of lightning drilled through skeleton bodies, split ribcages apart, shattered bone spikes before they could even be launched, and burst through undead crystals hidden deep in their bodies.
One formation vanished.
Then the second.
Then the third.
The dense square formations of Bone Spike Skeletons were completely erased in a single strike!
The purple-black lightning storm continued raging on the ground for several breaths, leaving behind only scorched pits, drifting white ash, and countless fragments of shattered bones.
Even the skeletons charging nearby were dragged into the violent electric field and blasted apart by the aftermath.
Little Flame Belle stared blankly.
Even Wolfie and Zhang Xiaohou in the distance could not help but look over.
This was no longer a normal Advanced lightning spell.
This was an execution.
A heavenly punishment.
The people watching through the Wicked Eye Copper Mirror would have their jaws hanging open if they saw it.
The Bone Spike Skeleton threat that had forced Mo Fan to use the Black Snake Armor and endure wave after wave of attacks...
Had been wiped out in a single move.
Mo Fan slowly lowered his hand.
Purple-black arcs still danced around his body madly.
Lightning Belle separated from him again, her little body looking a little tired, but her tiny face was full of pride as she floated near his shoulder.
The killing intent in Mo Fan’s eyes had not faded at all.
“Thirty-nine!”
Faint green light dots like fireflies floated toward Mo Fan, and the pendant on his chest absorbed them all into it.
Somehow, Mo Fan had already strengthened thirty-nine Stars of the Lightning Element. He had collected those Soul Essences just from the undead he had killed!
